I think the festival makes money as it has sponsors, runs five days and has been an annual event for 55 years.
I found the story about the golf cart when I did a search to look up past headliners. Not much info out there, but I think most of them were local acts. But in 2006, they had Foghat.
I don't know how much the BGD's appearance fee might be, but the Reinhart family wouldn't be incurring travel costs. So they might be able to add Casey and one or two others from afar. Advance planning would help, obviously, so Casey could plan for other events nearby at the same time. He was in the area less than two weeks before the event this year.

^^Buzz, your analysis above was very clear-headed and insightful. I agree that Haley was very mellow, but it's hard to imagine she would have been otherwise. Here she was at an event she wasn't sure about mingling with strangers for the most part. It would seem more strange if she were to pour on the charisma in full wattage. As it was she just seemed to be relaxed and enjoying herself like any normal person would under the circumstances. The most telling thing for me was that she chose to stay longer because she was having such a good time. That fact still warms the cockles of my heart.

Actually, Casey appears in Illinois fairly frequently. I don't know if it's the Haley connection or that he/his family seemed to live there at some point/does it really matter?
But you make an interesting point, Miguel. In real dollars, it might not take too much more to add Casey (and Jacob) but think about how that show exponentially grows -- and, thus, some real added dollars to BG Days.

I'm hoping and pushing for the Wheeling Park District to have their Grand Opening of the huge Heritage Park complex that should be completed by springtime to have the inaugural Bandshell/Amphitheatre performance be Haley + Midnight, no matter what the cost. I've mentioned it to a number of commissioners (including my wife) and the executive director of the Park District.
...Oh Geez...does this mean I'm volunteering for another Shindig if that happens?
Oh yes yes yes, please do HIMM! Another shindig! Yayyyyyy!!!!!!
Wouldn't that be fun!!!

Buzz, Himm2 - thanks for the additional insights about the event. Unlike some events the BG show seemed well rehearsed and nicely polished. As someone said earlier, even from afar it seemed to be more of a concert, a real show, rather than just a collection of songs.
